Stem Cell COREdinates is a consortium of human pluripotent stem cell cores that share expertise with protocols, reagents, and technological advancements to establish “best practices”. This open line of communication provides a means to enhance the services provided by each core, ultimately benefitting the research investigators in each institution and scientific community. One outcome of our efforts is a collection of protocols that are shared among members, as shown in the protocol tab. There are also special interest groups that give presentations on various stem cell techniques (see Virtual Interest Groups tab). Yearly meetings include a Roundtable discussion at a member’s institution and a sponsored ISSCR Focus Session. New or existing cores that are interested in joining can contact any member.
